I know for sure that Angelo Fazio b. Feb.1897 was indeed in Augusta and almost 99.9% sure his father Salvatore also born in Augusta.

So felt that was a good place to try and start searching for their roots and information.

I have never researched at all in Italy so this is a new learning experience for me.I have a good feeling regarding this website - it's I think like hitting the jackpot with all the different subject lines - fingers crossed!!

Located other manifests for a Salvatore Fazio, born about 1869 from Augusta, headed to Boston Mass. These indicate his occupation as a "mariner." He might have been a "bird of passage" who made multiple trips to the states.

Good Morning Biff & Suanj: Happy New Year's Eve to you & your families - may it be a Happy & Healthy one with lot's of smile's for all!!!

Once again thank you both for all your help - time - information and most of all your kindness in helping with this latest family project.

I'am sure I will not be a stranger to this forum as more questions come along.

In its most general sense, the term genealogy refers to the study of family history, while encompassing such related fields as ethnology, onomatology and --in rather few cases-- heraldry.
